A despatch from General Butler dated this morning at 1 o'clock reports all quiet along our lines. Yesterday General Kautz charged the enemy's works at Petersburg and carried them, penetrating into the town, but not being supported by General Gilimore, who had withdrawn his forces without a conflict, General Kautz was obliged to withdraw without further effect. Gene ral Kautz captured 40 prisoners and one piece of artil lery, which he brought away.

General Burbridge, commanding in Kentucky, in a despatch dated yesterday at Lexington, re ports that, after concentrating a force at Beaver Creek on the Big Sandy, I moved against Morgan's force in Virginia west as far as Gladeville. Morgan, with 2,500 men, moved into Kentucky, via Whitesbury. I pursued, and by march ing 90 miles in 24 hour s came upon him at M ount S t i r li ng yesterday morning, and defe a t e d him. By stea li ng f res h horses he reached Lexingto n a t 2 o ' clock th i s morn i ng. O ur forces held the fort, and the rebels did but little damage. He left here at 7 a.m. for Verslilles.

War Department, Washington, June 12, 12 m. A despatch from General Hunter, dated 6 o'clock in the morning of the Bth inst. at Staunton, reports " We met the enemy at Piedmont last Sunday, the sth inst., killing William E. Janes, their commanding General, and totally routing them, after a battle of 10 hours' dura tion. We have captured 1,500 prisoners altogether-1,000 men and over 60 officers on the field of battle—also 3,000 stand of arms, three pieces of artillery, and a vast quantity of stores. We have to-day effected a junction with Generals Crook and Averill." It is stated in another despatch, unofficial, dated Stalin. ton, June 9 : "Our infantry is now engaged burning ties and bending rails east and west. All Government and railroad build ings have been burnt at Staunton. We leave to-morrow." A despatch from General Grant's headquarters, dated yesterday, at 4 p.p., reports : " Rebel cavalry having yesterday made a dash into Wil son's lines near the Jenny-house, Wilson this morning sent out a part of M'lntosh's brigade to see where the enemy was. Their pickets were driven back and their outer line forced the cavalry passing over the intrenchrnents. About a mile west of Bethesda Church M'lntosh came upon Field's divi sion of infantry, and having accomplished the purpose of his reconnaissance retired. He killed and wounded a num ber of rebels in his progress, and brought away four or five prisoners. He had 16 men killed and wounded." Despatches from General Sherman, dated at his head quarters, Big Shanty, Georgia, this morning, have been received. They state that our lines are within 400 or 500 yards of the enemy, but no fighting yet. EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War. To Major-General Dix. War Department, Washington, June 13 (Midnight). We have despatches from the Army of the Potomac as late as 8 o'clock this morning. The movement was at that hour in successful progress. No reports to-day from Gen. Sherman. The following despatch from Gen. Burbridge, commanding in Kentucky, has just reached here :—" I attacked Morgan at Cynthiana at daylight yesterday morn ing, and after an hour's hard fighting completely routed him, killing 300, wounding nearly as many, and capturing nearly 400, besides recapturing nearly 100 of Gen. Hobson's com mand, and over 1,000 horses. Our loss in killed and wounded was about 150. Morgan's scattered forces are flying in all directions, have thrown away arms, are out of ammunition, and are wholly demoralised " Despatches from Gen. But ler at 9 o'clock this evening indicate no change in the com mand. No further intelligence has been received from Gen. Hunter. EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War. To Major-General Dix, New York. Gen. Lee's official report a the battle of the 3d has been published : Head-quarters Army Northern Virginia, June 3, 4 35 p.m. About half-past 4 a.m. to-day the enemy trade an attack upon the right of our line. In front of General Hoke and part of General Breckenridge's line he was re pulsed without difficulty, He succeeded in penetrating a salient in General Breckinridge's line, and captured a portion of the battalion there posted. General Fin negan's brigade of Mahone's division, and the Maryland battalion of Breckinridge's command immediately drove the enemy out with severe loss. Repeated attacks were made upon General A n d erson ' s position, chiefly against his right, under General K ers h aw. They were met with great steadiness and repuls e d i n every instance, The attack ex tended to our extrem e l e ft , under General Early, with like results. Later in th e d ay i t was twice renewed against General Heth, who occupied Early's left, but was repulsed with loss. General Hampton encountered the enemy's cavalry near Hawes's shop, and a part of William H. F. Lee's division drove them from their entrenchments. Our loss to-day has been small, and our success, under the blessing of God, all that we could expect. Respectfully, R. E. LEE, General.

With regard to the night attack following, his report is : Last night, after th e d ate June 4, 8.30 p.m. of my despatch, Generals Breokinridge and Finnegan were attacked by the enemy as they were preparing to re-establish their skirmish line. The enemy were soon repulsed. Immediately afterward an at tack was made upon Gen. Hoke's front, with a like result. Up to this time of writing n othing has occurred along the lines to-day, except skirmishing at various points. The position of the army is substanti a ll y unchanged.—Respeot fully, R, E. LEE, General. Hon. secretary of War. The following is from the Richmond Sentinel:-- In the fight of Friday night it is said our troops, after level ling the breastworks captured from the enemy, so as to play h overe m them retired. advanced , ih lines ten Th e feetenemy, dedeep to pe a m s t a supposingo u u lt r , wa artillery l e tl n iell y o h u te r old t artillery opened upon them with grape and canister, mowing down the first line, which fell back upon those advancing, when our artillery, firing into the mass, slaughtered them by thousands. In this fight a solid shell struck General Brecki nr i dge's horse in the breast and passed out behind the stir rup leather and between the General's legs. He received a s li ght concussion of the leg, occasioned by his horse fallin g on h it; but fortunately no country authority otherhave h injury. of one of the sur geons on the field, that our total wound e d ) in the several engage ments and skirmishes of the past week, does not exceed 600 r d i stated, The ry will rej o i ce at hi s escape. We on n the men. A heavy cannonadeitnd fusilade was heard on Satur day night. Accounts say that Grant again honoured Breck inridge's lines with his attentions, but met with his usual reception. The attack was readily rep u l sed, with but little loss on our side, but that of the enemy is represented again to have been extremely heavy. Grant, by adopting Breck inridge as his favourite, will make him one of ours if he continues to dose the enemy after the present fashion. A gentleman whose residence is within the enemy's lines was arrested by them and taken before Meade and Burnside, who, after interrogation, released him. From what he heard he is of the opinion that Grant is e ndeavouring to reach the White House. The men told him they were on half ra tions. The medical director of Anderson's (Longstreet's) corps states that up to yesterday morning the total number of casualties in the corps, killed, wounded and missing in the fights around Richmond, is only 263. This corps, it will be recollected, has taken part in nearly every engagement since the enemy crossed the Pamunkey. Army of Northern Virginia, June 4. Nothing of interest occurred along our lines up to a late hour this evening. I learnt from reliable sources the following particulars of the engagement of yesterday, in which the enemy broke through a portion of our lines held by Edgar's battalion, Breckinridge's command. The attack was made in two separate columns, two regiments in each column, one behind the other, The point where they broke over was a salient angle, embracing a hill which had been occupied when our cavalry held this part of the line, mainly for its importance as a 100k -out station. In moving up to occupS. the works under quite a sharp fire the troops were somewhat crowded, and before the line was properly ar ranged the point was attacked and carried. The first line of the enemy advanced about 100 yards this side our works, but were immediately driven ba c k an d t h e wor k s re t a k en by the Maryland battalion, assisted by General Finnegan's brigade. Our loss in prisoners was 150. In retaking the works we captured quite a number of prisoners and killed a large number of the enemy. The attack ex tended also to Generals Hoke's and Kershaw's fronts, being more persistent in front of Kersha w 's division; but the enemy were ev erywhere repulsed with severe loss. When the attack was made on General Hoke he was just about to advance so as to gain a position for his skirmishers. We took the enemy's rifle pits, but finding we could not protect our skirmishers in them, or hold them without exposing PHEASANT REARING for 1864.

SCIENTIFIC JOTTINGS.—From experiments per formed on living subjects, Drs. Estor and Saint- Pierre, in seeking the cause of the redness which accom panies inflammation, have arrived at the following results —l. In the case of strong inflammations, the venous blood taken from the side where the inflammation resides is red der than that taken from the other side; 2, the former blood always contains a larger proportion of oxygen than the other, generally half as much again and more ; 3, it also contains more carbonic acid ; 4, that the excess of oxygen being the cause of the greater redness of the blood, it follows that it is also the cause of the redness which accompanies inflammation, In a paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, Cr Marce compares the qualities of pure bread!) , to the poisonous ones contained in the compound called absinthe, and finds that stupor, terrifying hallucinations, and intellectual weakness predominate among the effects of the latter. To ascertain whether these effects are peculiarly to be ascribed to wormwood, from whence the above liquor is distilled, Dr. Mardy has instituted certain experiments, from which it appears that essence of wormwood, taken in doses of from two to three grammes, produces the symptoms above described ; and that in higher doses it may even occasion fits ; whence he concludes that nothing can be more injurious than excess in the use of absinthe.—M, Chautard has sent a paper to the Academy of Sciences on the pre sence of caproic acid in the flowers of the Batyrium hircinum, which emit a smell strongly resembling that of the he-goat. The quantity of caproic acid obtained was very considerable. The same chemeist has distilled the flowers of Orchiscorio phora, the smell of which strongly reminds us of that of the bug; the produce was acid, but not in sufficient quan tity to allow of its nature being determined.—M. Hugo Schiff, in treating the red of analine by various alde hydes, has obtained two new series of nitrogenized sub stances, which he calls the ethylenic and ethylidente series of anilinic formations. jt z2~-v ..--,--..

The King, four days afterwards, engaged to abolish feudal rights and to establish the civic guards. He submitted with some regret to the constitution voted at Frankfort in 1849. The King (March 15) denounced the "vision of unity" an the most "dangerous enemy of Germany." Prussia, in wrath, recalled her ambassador from Stuttgardt. The King of IV urtemberg, nothing daunted, ridiculed the " German unitarian spirit" as "a chimera, the most dangerous of ad chimeras, for Germany and Europe." All the means used for this end only produced division and dissolution. He protested in favour of fostering the irdepen deuce, strength, harmony, and civilisation of all States. Such was the King of Wurtemburg—a king of smaller territory than many of his more important neighbours, but of less ambition, of less notoriety, but less evil repute; of less ambition abroad, less arrogance at home, and consequently of greater popularity at home and greater respe c t abroad. It is true that lately he suffered himself to be dragged into the muddy vortex of German folly and recknessness in the Schleswig-Holstein question ; but, though taking the German view, he is not believed to have desired to carry it out as Prussia has done, by the utter violation of the rights of a gallant nation, as well as the laws of war. Happily, perhaps, for him, he has gone down to an honoured grave beloved and respected, before in his extreme old age, he could see Germany dis graced and humiliated before the world as'a righteous penalty of an act of high-banded and cowardly aggression. We have spoken of the late King's first disastrous marriage. He married, secondly, Jan. 24, 1816, Catherine Paulowna, daughter of the late Emperor Paul of Russia, widow of Prince Peter of Holstein- Oldenburg ; and by her (who died Jan. 9, 1819) he had issue two daughters, Maria Frederica Charlotte, born Oct. 30, 1816, and married March 19, 1840, to Alfred, Count of Neipperg ; and Sophia Frederica Matilda, born June 17, 1818, married June 18,1839, to the present King of Holland. By the King's third marriage, of April 15, 1820, with Pauline Theresa Louisa, daughter of Louis Frederic Alex ander, Duke of Wurtemberg, his uncle, he had two daughters and one son. One of the daughters, the elder, Cather:Uie Frederica Charlotte, born Aug. 24, 1821, marred Nov. 20, 1845, Frederic Prince of Wurtembe rg, her cousin, and the other, Augusta Wilhelmin a Henrietta, born Oct. 4, 1826, married June 17, 1851, Hermann Bernard George Prince of Saxe-Weir Dar, colonel cnmmandant of the 2d Regi ment of Wartemberg Cavalry. His only eon, Prince Charles Pre deric Alexander, now King of Wurtem berg, was :born March 6,1823, and is a lieutenant general in. the army and colonel of the Nijni-Nov. gorod Regiment of Russian Dragoons.

Sad Calamity on the Hudson River. The steamer Berkshire, plying between Hudson and New York, on her down trip, on the Wed nesday night, previous to the departure of the last mail, caught - are at a point near Hyde -park about 10 o'clock, axed was burnt to the water's edge, in volving a loss. of from 40 to 50 lives. She had 200 passengers on board at the time of starting from Hudson. There was also a large freight of cattle, sheep, and other live stock. The origin of the fire is not yet clearly understood. Some passengers say that it broke out in the lamp-room from the exploa sion of a lamp; others that it first appeared in some bales of hay stowed in huge piles near the bow of the steamer, and was kindled by a pipe or cigar thrown carelessly among them. There were bat few persons oa deck et the time, most of the passengers having retired to rest. The alarm was promptly given, and a scene of wild excitement followed. The wind was blowing from the north, end the flames spread rapidly, defying all attempts of the crew and the coolest portion of th e passengers t o ex ti ngu i s h them. It soon became evident that co efforts could save the vessel or anything on board, and she was accordingly headed for the shore. The engi neer turned the valves, and the helm was fixed so that the boat would run on the ft ats to the east ward, and in this condition she was driven on the beach, while the flames were making rapid pro. gress, and the passengers who were awakened en deavouring to escape. The effort on the part of some persona on board to prevent any confusion was probably a most disastrous mistake. Many persons are known to have been below, whence others had just escaped with their lives from the suffocating smoke. One of cur informants relates that he .was below, and was awakened by the hasty tramp of feet, and heard the remark that the boat was on fire. He immediately left his bed and hurried on deck, where he saw the flames coming from the bow to the stern, where he was standing. He had in the evening seen some cork life-preservers on the lower deck, and now he hastened back and took one of them from among the quantity. This person saw or heard several others groping about below, and endeavouring to get themselves out of the cabin ; but none of them followed him. and it is supposed that they were lost. He was subsequently saved by a boat, which, after he had jumped into the river and floated down some distance with the cur. rent, took him to a point of rocks below. As the boat neared the beach the appearance of the middle deck, with the fire extending through most of its length, and the passengers crowding to its furthest extremity, was truly appalling. The women and children on board comprised about one-third of the passengers. These were assisted as far as practi cable, by their immediate friends and other persons, who could in many cases do nothing more than encourage them to be patient, or, as it is understood in a few instances, help them overboard with chairs or any other buoys that could be found. At this time the confusion was extreme, and shrieks and cries mingled with the roaring of the flames, Whi c h h a d made all points of the boat inconveniently hot, and compelled many selfepossessed persons to hang themselves over the railing till the boat should r each the beach or shallow water. The b oat ran ashore with most of her Passengers yet on board. She lay with her bow in two or three feet of water; so that probably half the passengers escaped by jumping into the water and wading or swimming ashore. A considerable p roportion, however, had been driven to the stern by the extreme beat, and that end of the boat was still in deep water. There was, therefore, no resource but to jump overboard. Persons Who could swim gained the shore, but many could not help themselves, and floated down with the tide. One person among this number counted 30 or 40, among them some women, one of whom had lost three children, who were either burnt or drowned. One of the party became stupified, and lost his hold of a girl whom he had rescued from the steamer. The young lady went down. Her mother had been abandoned in the vessel. Some of the party who were thus floating down the river disappeared, while others were rescued by boats which came from a schooner which hove in sight, and also from the steamer James Baldwin. A few of these persons were taken next morning by the steamer Mary Powell from Rondoat, where they were carried the previous night. They express their obligations to Captain Anderson. A consi derable majority of the passengers are undoubtedly safe. Probably the number lost—more than half of whom are supposed to have been burnt on board ill reach 40 or 50. Almost without exception their property, including some of their clothing, was lost. Many of the number were entirely des titute, but were partially provided for through the kindness of the captain of the James Baldwin and of other persons. There is little or nothing of the Berkshire remaining above water except her machi nery. Her hull is blackened and charred at the water line, and nothing probably will be saved from ~.~ : 7- i v THE VOLUNTEERS. On Saturday afternoon the fine corps of citizen soldiers, the London Rifle Brigade, under the command of Lieut.- Col. Warde, an experienced officer of the Line, was reviewed in Hyde-park by H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge, honorary colonel of the regiment. It was one of the first corps formed at the beginning of the volunteer movement, and in that re spect set an example to the rest of the metropolis and of the country at large, as became the inhabitants of the first mini - cipality in the kingdom. It has always numbered about 1,000 men, representing almost every class of the citizens, and has invariably borne a creditable part in all the great volunteer reviews in the metropolis and its neighbourhood. Lieut.- Col. Warde is a strict disciplinarian, and the brigade, since he succeeded to the command of it, has attained a high de gree of efficiency. The brigade on Saturday mustered first in the Mall of St. James-park to the number of nearly 600, in ten companies, including the cadet corps, and marched thence to Hyda-park under the command of Col. Warde, preceded by their band and colours. There the ground was kept for them by a detachment o. the Isl. Sarrey R fl Volun teers, commanded by Lieut.-Col. Meedeueld. His Rot; al Highness the Commander-in-Chief appeared upon the ground about 6 o'clock, attended by Adjutant• General Sir James Yorke Scarlett, Col. P. Herbert, Col. Curzon, and Col. Keane. The brigade, which was arranged in line, pre sented arms and the band played the National Anthem . The Duke, with his Staff, then rode slowly al o n g th e li ne, front and rear, inspecting the men and their accoutrements - end, this over, his Royal Highness took up his position at the saluting flag, and the brigade, wheeling into open column, marched past in that order, then in close column, and afterwards at "the double." The Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary arrived about that time in an open carriage and saw nearly the whole of the evolutions. The steadiness and precision with which the marching past was performed elicited repeated expressions of admiration from the Commander-in-Chief, addressed to the officers of his Staff. A series of battalion movements followed. The brigade was afterwards exercised in light infantry drill and skirmish.. ing, until the whole regiment had been sent out in skirmish.. ing order. At the close of the evolutions, which lasted about an hour, the brigade was formed into square, and the Com mander-in-Chief with his Staff rode into the centre, His Royal Highness, addressing them, said the test to which they had that (day been subjected was a roost severe one. There was hardly a manoeuvre, he should think, to be found in the drill book which they had not executed, and all he could say was that he should he perfectly satisfied if he alwayi saw regiments that could drill half as well. Through out the whole of the very difficult movements not a single mistake had been made, nor had there been; the slightest noise or confusion, and altogether the whole series of evolu tions had been performed with a regularity and precision exceedingly creditable to the brigade and to the officer in command. The orders of the colonel in command were effi ciently and rapidly carried out by theofficers and men, and on the whole he was never more pleased with any drill. He must say also that he never saw an officer in command of a battalion handle it with more judgment or with greater tact than Colonel Warde had displayed on this occasion. He was gratified to find everything going on in the corps satisfactorily. On this occasion, if he remembered rightly, there was a much larger muster than at the inspection of last year; and the general appearance of both officers and men, the neatness with which their accoutrements had been put on, and the steady way in which they stood in the ranks were worthy of all praise. His Royal Highness, smiling, remarked upon the accuracy and regularity with which the hair was cut—a thing, he added, trivialof itself, but which, with others, went far to make up the smartness of a regi ment. He again expressed the pleasure which the inspec tion of the regiment had afforded him, and congratulated them on the manner in which they had acquitted themselves and on their general efficiency. The corps then by a spon taneous movement placed their caps on their bayonets, and, raising them high in the air, gave three enthusiastic cheers for the Queen, followed by three for his Royal Highness. With that the review ended. The duke, with the officers of his staff, left the ground, and the brigade, preceded by the band, returned to their headquarters at Guildhall. Major Rose and Major Pawson were the officers in command on the occasion, next to the Lieutenant-Colonel. A challenge from the Gloucester Dock Volunteers Rifls Company, to compete with any similar number of Volun teers in the caunties of Gloucester, Hereford, Monmouth, or Worcester for efficiency in drill, has been accepted by Lieutenant -Colonel Savile on behalf of the Bristol Volunteer Artillery corps. The conditions of the challenge are as follow :—Fifty members on each side, The drill to include examination of arms, manual and platoon exercise, file and volley firing, piling arms, and the whole of company drill, with such battalion movements as can bo effectively performed by a single company. Steadiness in the ranks and general smartness to form part of the test.

Death of the King of Wuxtei nberg, The eldest of European sovereigns, th e King of Wurtemberg, died on Saturday morning at Rosen.. tien Castle. He had for soa'e time been i n failing health, and it was well known that his dent b might be expected at any moment. He has died at last calmly and without pain in his 84th year—" Non erepta vita sed donata more." The King of War temberg, who was nearly allied to our oven royal family,and was a knight of the most Noble Order the Garter, was one of the most venerated inonarchti in Europe—a liberal, honest King, who loyally kept his word to his subjects—a simple vaasstiming man, whose happiness was the well-being• of his people. On one of the public buildings in S tnttgardt may be seen an inscription in his honour, "Happy the land where love is the subject and love is the lord.' This was in truth the condition of the land over which for nearly 50 years King William I. ruled. Frederick Charles, King of Wurtembarg, under the designation of William 1., was born on the 27th of September, 1781, at Lubin, in Sile.via. His father was Frederick 1., and his mother was Augusta Caroline Frederica Louisa of Brunswick- Wolfenbrettel—a favourite of Catherine 11. of Rus sia, who eventually banished her to Siberia, passing her off as dead. On her actual death Frederick 1., then prince royal of Wurtemberg, came to England, and was betrothed to Charlotte Augusta Matilda, Princess Royal of England, eldest) daughter of George 111. He was described by contemporary gossips as "shorter in stature and more corpulent then the Prince of Wales, but, though fat, active, well-proportioned, and of an expressive counte nance. His father had thought fit to become a Roman Catholic in hopes of being made an Elector, but he "was a Protestant, and when anyone saw him he would affirm that the hereditary prince would never change his religion, having such a princely, firm, open, and unaspiring countenance." On May 3, 1797, the King sent a message to both houses, announcing the coming union, and speak ing of the bridegroom as " considerable i❑ rank and station, and descended from the Electress Sophia of Hanover." The marriage, which was welcomed with great joy in this country, chiefly arising from the fact of the descent of this " Protestant Prince" from the " Electress Sophia," was solemnised in the Chapel Royal, St. James's, May 18, 1797. By it the King became brother•in-law of our Queen's father. It may be added that the first cousin of King William I. was the Duchess Dowager of Saxe- Coburg, mother.in-law of the late Prince Consort. From Ernest Augustus, Elector of Brunswick, and Sophia, daughter of Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia, came George I, and his sister, the wife of Frederic King of Prussia, whose son married George the First's daughter. The granddaughter of Frederic 1., Sophia Dorothea, married Frederic William, Mer grave of Brandenberg. Sch.wedt, and thei: son married the late King of Wurtemberg's mother. Such is the genealogical connection of the King of Wurtemberg with tte House of Hanover. How he was also connected with the House cf Orleans will appear subsequently. Frederic I. was a curious parsonage. Both the beginning and the end of his reign were enlivened by differences between him and hia States, which complained of the infringement of thoir privileges. In 1803, in consequence of the Peace of Lunesille, he was made Elector, and on the Peace of Presburg he was made King (he was proclaimed January 1, 1806), and placed the crown over the entrance of his palace at Stuttgardt. Conditions, however, were exacted of him. He was to furnish contingents to Napoleon, and to give his daughter, Princess Fre derica Catherine Sophia Dorothea, in . marriage to Jerome Bonaparte, who in the following year was created King of Westphalia. During the Revolu tion, when the Republican army advanced on the Danube, he was obliged to fly and abandon his capital to foreign troops. One of the most zealous sovereigns of the Rhenish Confederacy, he rigorously executed Bonaparte's conscription law in his States. He built Frederic's Haven, a small port on the Lake of Constance, to facilitate the commerce of Wur temberg with other countries. Frederic's sister was married to Paul I. of Russia. What the old King's opinion of Napoleon was may best be gathered from the fact of his passing over in his will his daughter, Jerome Bonaparte's wife. Jerome and she declined to live at Stuttgardt after the King's death in 1816. The late King William led a wandering life in his youth, owing partly to the troublous nature of the times, partly to the troublesome temperament of his singular father, He lived in Silesia, in Rus sia, in Switzerland, and in the Rhenish provinces. On the invasion of Wurtemberg by French armies in 1796 and 1799 he was an involuntary exile ; and from 1803 to 1806 he exiled himself in conseouence of his disapproval of his father's despotic conduct, taking up his residence in Paris, where he com pleted his education. On his return he lived a very retired life, and warmly condemned his father's pliancy in yielding to £he demands of Napoleon Bonaparte. The conqueror, however, forced him eventually to marry, in 1808, the Princess Caroline Augusta of Bavaria ; but the union was dissolved by mutual consent in 1814. The young prince had entered the army early, and in 1812 he commanded the Wurtemberg con- tingent of la grande armee, Subsequently he had the command of the 7th corps of the allied army, and distinguished himself at R)thiere and Mont. mirail. At time of his death he was prop rietaire of the 6th Regiment of Austrian Hussars, and chef of the 25th Regiment of Prussian infantry. The late King succeeded his father, who died of liver complaint, on the 30th of October, 1816. Old King Frederic, a tyrannical and illiberal man, was in the middle of a violent squabble with the States, which had protested, much to the King's disgust, against the levying of taxes by the Crown without their authority. The King set himself vigorously to reduce the expenditure, espe cially curtailing the expenses of those corps of the army (Royal and Hulan Body Guards) which were used chiefly on occasions of regal state. He also liberated the State prisoners in the Castle of Asperg, On the 16th of March, 1817, he told the States that he would not permit members of his privy council to be present at his discussions With the States who came to prefer complaints against them. He found himself, however, unable to control the States, and on the 4th of June dissolved them, issuing a proclamation the next day expressive of the pain ielt by his " paternal heart" at these dis sensions, his royal dignity not allowin g him to make furtlar sacrifices. He still leaned, nevertheless, to popular principles, and took part with the citizens against the privileged orders. Tile mediatised princes opposed the reconvocation of the States, but he surmounted all difficulties at last, and in 1819 the constitution (providing for two chambers, equality of religion, &c.) was established. In 1840 the King abolished the censorship of the press; but in 1848, under the pressure of the year of revolutions, tried to bring it back again. This year he also, among other less fortunate and popular sovereigns, came into collision with his subjects. In March an assembly of tradesmen cur Eel vice Mr Waterman, of Shirley, near Southampton, who some time since offered a battery, consisting of 14 field guns, to the King of Danmark, has received the thanks of his Ma jesty, who, under eifsting circumst.sncas, has declined to acc4t the guns. Mr Waterman, still wishing to place the guns to the beet possible usc, Lis determined to preecnt tho battery to F3o:i:e Volunteer corps, and has selected the 2d Surrey Artillery 'Volunteer Brigade as worthy of the battery —and the guns are now an their way to London to be pre sented to Major Bamford, the commanding officer. foe the use of the corps, The presentation is formally to take place on the 28th, her Majesty's coronation day. Pigeon Shooting. ARISTOCRATIC SUMMER HANDICAP AT HORNSEY-WOOD HOUSE.—The zealous and indefatigable manner in which that true-hearted sportsman, Frank Heathcote, Esq., has from the commencement of these meetings, exerted himself, has given an impetus to the doings of the trigger that has caused pigeon shooting to become a more important feature among metropolitan sports than for many years previous. This is the fourth season that the above named gentleman has superintended these events, and a more substantial proot of their popularity could net be given than in the fact that the muster-roll of competitors is upon each suc ceeding occasion found to be more numerous.

Frank Heathcote, Esq., threw the dice, and filled his customary post as referee, the new rules being strictly enforced. On the official card of the handicap there were 105 competitors spotted, to,which had to be added four post entries, bringing the poll up to 109. Of these 34 paid for feit.

Campbell was found to be the winner of the match, he being the only one of the competitors who had had the the skill and good fortune to kill the whole of his birds. As the head of the poll his fine bit of practice was rewarded by the first prize of £2lO, and a handsome silver cup. Capt. Wm. Peyton, Capt. Bumand, Capt. Owen Williams, Lord A. Paget, Hon. Col.
